<div><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">I do not know what happens at other hospitals and clinics, because I only worked at one. I know that probably 90% of the time when someone was bitten, the owner was NOT told or she may have been told "He nipped one of our techs" even tho the Tech is back there with a cold compress on her hand and pouring betadine on the holes. </font></font></div>
<div><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">We always figured that being scratched, bitten, analed in the face, shit and peed upon kind of was written in the contract. I scar very easily and after over twenty years of holding furious cats and upset dogs, when I tan, I look like a roadmap with lighter lines all over my hands and arms.</font></font></div>
<div><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">If the bite is bad enough that the tech or Vet has to go to the hospital, then we tell the client-- we have to because the hospital is going to notify the police.</font></font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">Nobody wants to believe their dog might bite, but what people tend to forget is that aside from anals and growling, it is the only way dogs have of expressing displeasure, fear, anger-- those things we can verbalize. Biting is a dog's way of verbalizing-- maybe yelling.</font></div>
